Trump has threatened to hold up a new stadium for the Washington Commanders unless they revert back to the Redskins name.

President Donald Trump is threatening to hold up a new stadium deal for Washington’s NFL team if it does not restore its old name, which was considered offensive to Native Americans.

I may put a restriction on them that if they don’t change the name back to the original ‘Washington Redskins,’ and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, ‘Washington Commanders,’” the president said.

President Donald Trump may be all on board for having the Washington Commanders revert their team name, but the D.C. mayor and the team's GM are paying him no mind.

Washington’s NFL franchise used to be in the news all the time for reasons other than football. That seemed to have changed under new team ownership, but President Donald Trump’s remarks about the team name and possibly holding up a stadium deal are making waves just as training camp opens.
